Mahl was 'encouraged' to join the empire under the allusion that the empire would promote stability in the galaxy. His inital acceptance into the Imperial pilot ranks was a fluke, as the name on his paperwork, 'Korvo' Is a human surname, not Zeltron. Upon realizing the mistake, the potential pilot was summarily removed from the potential list of elite TIE pilots and relegated to transport duties. Cargo ships, personnel transfers. Mahl was relegated to these 'lower position' jobs whenever the duty rosters were assigned.

The confusion of his surname would come to benefit him again when an imperial commander needed a pilot to ferry her across a sector. She was unwilling to admit assigning him as her pilot was a mistake. The mix-up would futher benefit his career as he would be considered 'plesant company' when fulfilling his duties as a transport pilot, and quickly became a preferred pilot for several officers to fly them around due to his friendly demeanor and subtle attractiveness. During his time as a pilot he had been loyal, to stay out from under any xenophobia and kept himself from the ire of the officers.

He became disillusioned with the empire when he witnessed first hand his assigned star destroyer performing an orbital bombardment to eradicate a rebelling city that had practically no ability to defend themselves. He had interacted with the locals, decent people that felt the empire was taking from them more than they could provide for themselves.

While this wasn't a singular event that made him leave the empire, it was the final straw in a long series of missteps the empire had taken.
